Answer:

D)NADPH is made

A)ATP is used

Explanation:

Sorry to ask the two questions, I asked why the two options are in the process:Reduction. In the second stage, ATP and NADPH are used to convert the 3-PGA molecules into three-carbon sugar molecules, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ( G3P ). At this stage, it gets its name because NADPH donates, or reduces , electrons to a three-carbon intermediate to form G3P.[Ocultar detalhes]

The reduction stage of the Calvin cycle, which needs ATP and NADPH, converts 3-PGA (produced in the fixation stage) into a three-carbon sugar. This process takes place in two main stages:

Simplified diagram of the reduction step of the Calvin cycle showing the carbon atoms, but not the complete molecular structures. A 3-PGA molecule first receives a second phosphate group from ATP (generating ADP). Then, the doubly phosphorylated molecule receives electrons from NADPH and is reduced to form glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. This reaction generates NADP + and also releases an inorganic phosphate.

A 3-PGA molecule first receives a second phosphate group from ATP (generating ADP). Then, the doubly phosphorylated molecule receives electrons from NADPH and is reduced to form glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. This reaction generates NADP + and also releases an inorganic phosphate.

First, each 3-PGA molecule receives a phosphate group from ATP, becoming a doubly phosphorylated molecule called 1,3-bisphosphoglyceride (and leaving an ADP as a by-product).

Second, 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate molecules are reduced (gain electrons). Each molecule receives two electrons from NADPH and loses one of its phosphate groups, becoming a three-carbon sugar called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) . This step produces NADP^+

The ATP and NADPH used in these steps are products of the photo-dependent reactions (first stage of photosynthesis). That is, the chemical energy of ATP and the reducing potential of NADPH, both produced with the use of light energy, keep the Calvin cycle running. Conversely, the Calvin cycle regenerates ADP and NADP^+

+

start superscript, plus, end superscript, providing the necessary substrates for photo-dependent reactions.

You measure levels of Ca2+ in various locations within a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber when the motor neuron is NOT d
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3: "<em>High levels of Ca2+ are expected to be found </em><em>within the sarcoplasmic reticulum</em>".

Explanation:

Muscular contraction is a highly regulated process that depends on free calcium concentration in the cytoplasm. Amounts of cytoplasmic calcium are regulated by <u>sarcoplasmic reticulum</u> that functions as a storage of the ion.

When a nerve impulse reaches the membrane of a muscle fiber, through acetylcholine release,  the membrane depolarizes producing the entrance of calcium from <u>extracellular space</u>. The impulse is transmitted along the membrane to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, from where calcium is released.  At this point, <em>tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament</em>. The calcium channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum controls the ion release, that activates and regulates muscle contraction, by increasing its cytoplasmic levels. When <em>calcium binds to the troponin C</em>, <em>the troponin T alters the tropomyosin by moving it and then unblocks the binding sites,</em> making possible the formation of <em>cross-bridges between actin and myosin filaments.</em> When myosin binds to the uncovered actin-binding sites, ATP is transformed into ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Z-bands are then pulled toward each other, thus shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, and producing muscle fiber contraction.
